Back at it!!
Batteries charged and back at it! As the gig in Las Vegas winds down, March 20th-21st and April 11th-12th being our last two weekends, we are getting amped up for the new Sundown Heaven Town Tour. A whole bunch of new songs and all the great old ones you all know and love. So looking forward to sleeping in my bunk.
i always get asked, “do you ever get tired of being on the road?” And my honest answer is, “yes.” Somedays being on a four week run, on 40ft of bus, rolling down the highways and byways, can be taxing, especially the older i get. i mean, i’ve always felt totally blessed and i so love my job but i’m also a daddy and a husband and being out on the road makes it tough to fill those tanks. Sure, technology has made it easier to stay in touch what with Skype and facetime and everything, but the hugs and kisses, the personal touches of a loved one are crutial to a fully rounded happy being. i usually say it’s not the road i get tired of it’s the 22 1/2 hours of time i gotta kill til i get to do what i love that wear me out. But this is my life, it’s what i know and definatly what i love and i will do it as long as i’m physically capable.
So what’s with people using iPads for cameras. i know they have pretty good cameras on them but from one friend to another you look silly holding that big thing in front of your face. There was one guy this weekend at the Venetian taking pictures with his ipad and all you could make out from the stage was fingers, arms, and shoulders. He had a black square for a face. We see you people and we love seeing your happy, smiling faces. Step away from the pad, get you a good little point and shoot and let your smiles shine.
Only you can make a bad day good. Smile, love, and be happy.
Peace
stay safe..see ya in June~
I can only imagine what life is like on the road. You all make what you do seem so darn easy. I will surely stop complaining when most of the time it takes us like over two hours to get out of the parking lot after seeing you guys. That is nothing compared to what you all do to entertain us, so thank you! I wish there was some way to purchase a souvenir video and/or pictures of the concerts online or something. That way maybe most would put down whatever they are using to take pictures/videos. I know I would just one time love to see you all and just sit there or stand and dance and enjoy it without worrying about that stuff. But let’s face it. Everyone wants to have something to show they were there and somehow get Tim and you all in that picture…lol I often wondered what you all thought of looking at a bunch of phones all night..or picture frames! I am seeing you all in May and will be there with a smiling face. Okay, and taking a few pictures!!
Paula,
I will be the first to say “it ain’t what most people think it is.” It does get tough but show me an occupation where it’s all smiles and rainbows shootin out peoples butt 24/7/365 and I’ll say “SIGN ME UP!!”
The road does takes it’s toll, and it can be as hard as you want it to be. Now, what makes being on the road the most difficult are the missed concert performances and little league baseball games…and birthdays…and…you get my drift.
What we do is somewhat selfish but then everynight we give it all away to you. Hoping to make you feel like that was the best show EVER!!!!
Thank you for being a F.A.N
